Better Homes and Garden has some interesting ideas for small bathrooms. Among the many ideas is the hideaway sink (pictured). The sink pulls out of the wall only when needed. The ideas presented in the article can make your bathroom look and feel larger without having to knock out walls or add onto your home’s size.

I have yet to adjust to a smaller shared bathroom in our new home and many of these ideas struck a chord with me. There also is a great list of 22 bathroom storage ideas. Both of these features can give you ideas to keep your bathroom in order, while also making it more relaxing.

no offense, but that sink is stupid. instead you just have ALL OF THE PLUMBING sticking out of the wall for people to bang into and break. not to mention the space lost in whatever room the sink pushes into.

It’s cute, but not practical. I think a flip-down sink, like on a train, would make more sense. And it would be safer – I hadn’t thought about the faucet sticking out, but now that Rob mentioned it, that’s something I would bump into every day.

Sorry, first thing I thought was “eeww, all those dirty hands constantly pulling the sink out to wash with it, then pushing it back in”… I love putting things away and making a room look less cluttered, but sinks in bathrooms? They really should be accessible…

My first thought was that it would be drippy…I know faucets aren’t *supposed* to be, but I feel like at the very least there are always a few drops left in the spigot once you’ve turned the water off. (Could just be the old houses I’ve always lived in, though…) I wouldn’t want to always have a wet spot on the floor. Plus, I agree with others’ comments about hitting the faucet when the sink was “put away”, and how the interwall space needed for the sink would be significant.

No, the sink on Firefly was a much better design. The faucet was attached to the sink and folded in flush with the wall. You wouldn’t know it was there unless someone showed you. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it in RL.

I want the new toilet tank with sink on top. Wash hands and the used water flows into the tank so you can flush your toilet with it. No waste, absolute convenience.
That drawer is a pretty little mildew pit and leak generator.
